Army procurements, but instead shall 

be concerned with the pressing and 

complex technology and business 

management issues facing the 

Department of the Army in the areas 

referenced above. 

No matter shall be assigned to the 

Board for its consideration that would 

require any Board member to participate

Such subcommittees or workgroups 

shall not work independently of the 

chartered Board, and shall report all 

their recommendations and advice to 

the Board for full deliberation and 

discussion. Subcommittees or 

workgroups have no authority to make
